Things That Were Removed

cadences are supposed to be more consonant that the chords which immediately preceded it. Dissonance has a disturbing quality which leads to musical dynamism and a quest for resolution. This resolution is consonance.

Sibilance

Sibilance redirects here. I'm not an audio engineer but I did just hear sibilance mentioned on the daily show. I think in the context of audio engineering it relates to the crackling you can get in an audio system on "s" and "sh" sounds. A google search reflects this. Should this page be forked or at least get a section on sibilance as it applies to the audio field? —Ben FrantzDale 01:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory statements

In the first paragraph, alliteration is considered a subset of consonance; in the third, alliteration is contrasted with consonance. --Dependent Variable, 17 July 2007

Logical boundaries between alliteration, assonance and consonance

I wondered if anyone can confirm or deny a statement which, if correct, might clarify the relationship between alliteration, assonance and consonance;

"All alliteration is a form of assonance or consonance, it is a form of assonance where words start with the same vowel sound and a form of consonance where words start with the same consonants."

Is that a correct statement and if so might the page benefit from its inclusion? Andrew F. (talk) 10:07, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell the statement is technically true. But the part "it is a form assonance where words start with the same vowel sound" is confusing to readers, and therefore I do not suggest your statement should be included as it is formulated now into the main article. --Spannerjam 19:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
